It didn’t always feel that way, though. While Kendrick Lamar’s aforementioned fourth studio album -- which hit like a meteor on the Friday before the rapper’s monster set to close out Coachella -- much of 2017 was defined by growers rather than out of the gate jams and much of the summer passed without a bona fide “Song of” said season. (Barely. More on that in a second.)

Really, it's only on looking back at the cavalcade of "Best Of" lists that footnote every year that you realize how full of noteworthy sounds 2017 in particular was. And now, with the nearly ubiquitous acceptance of streaming as the primary method of song consumption, not only is the roster of artists who find both large audiences and critical acclaim more diverse and democratized than ever, but the entire idea of a publication-determined "Best Music of the Year" feels almost silly. After

Strengths: Steven Spielberg’s riveting paean to newspaper journalism and freedom of the press couldn’t be more timely. Early reviews are strong for this true story about The Washington Post’s publication of the Pentagon Papers,

Neither a remake nor a direct continuation of the 2003 game of the same name, Black Mirror is a point and click horror/thriller that takes place in the late 19th Century and features a story of supernatural and the occult, as seen through the eyes of one David Gordon, youngest member and heir of the Gordon family. Made by King Art Games (also responsible for Battle World Kronos, Book of Unwritten Tales 1 and 2 and The Dwarves) Black Mirror has a lot of potential, but does it live up to expectations?

In a word, no. But that’s mainly because of a whole raft of technical issues that hamper the gameplay and prevent the player from enjoying what could otherwise have been a fairly enjoyable storyline. The game opens with David’s father running panicked through a maze in the middle of the night. Mumbling incoherently, he rushes towards a somewhat

For some time now, WWE fans have considered Money in the Bank as one of the year’s big shows. The PPV calendar traditionally highlights Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Summerslam, and Survivor Series as the company’s biggest four shows of the year, and they are the only four shows to feature both Raw and Smackdown brands competing. Well, according to PWInsider, it was revealed yesterday that Money in the Bank 2018 will also be a dual branded event, indicated that the WWE are beginning to treat it as one of their big shows.

The news was revealed alongside the full 2018 WWE PPV schedule, which features several other interesting changes. The first thing you may notice is that the company has trimmed their schedule from 16 shows to 14, which are made up of 5 dual branded,

…I hope you’re looking for some new footage from The Last Jedi, as we have five TV spots for the movie right here. Here’s the first 3 released this week, here’s one with new dialogue between Rey and Luke Skywalker and here’s some new footage from

Being paid less than her male co-stars is no longer an issue for Oscar-nominated actress Jessica Chastain.

Why? Because she simply refuses to accept lower salaries!

The 40-year-old beauty covers Town & Country’s December/January issue, in which she addresses the gender pay gap in Hollywood.

“If I’m in a situation where I have equal experience to the actor and my role is just as significant, there is no reason why I should be paid less,” she tells the magazine, on newsstands Nov. 21. “It’s not really part of my world anymore, because I just won’t accept it.”

Taylor Swift and Joseph Khan released another mini-movie just after midnight. The duo, who previously collaborated on "Blank Space," "Bad Blood," "Wildest Dreams," "Out of the Woods" and "Look What You Made Me Do," teamed up to create "...Ready for It?," the second music video from Swift's forthcoming sixth studio album, Reputation (available Nov. 10). Kahn has directed music videos for some of the biggest musicians in the world, including Christina Aguilera, Blink-182, Mariah Carey, Eminem, Maroon 5, Shakira and Britney Spears. Swift teased the first footage from her "...Ready for It?" music video via Instagram Monday. Kahn later tweeted it...

Janet Jackson was also dancing in the aisles, but for a very different reason -- she spent a night off from her State of the World Tour by taking in a performance of Magic Mike Live at Las Vegas’ Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Oct. 13.

Aaron Paul was also in Sin City that same night. He celebrated his grandmother’s 90th birthday with family, including his pregnant

A poison-tipped portrait of living through his parents’ divorce, “The Squid and the Whale” has long been understood to be Noah Baumbach’s most explicitly autobiographical film. And yet, so much of his subsequent work — from the slapstick solipsism of “Mistress America” to the generational broadside of “While We’re Young” — is snagged on the perils of letting other people determine one’s self-worth. A Barnard freshman is desperate for the approval of her school’s most exclusive literary society. An esoteric director feels attacked when his new documentary about a leftist intellectual isn’t as warmly received as his doting protege’s dumb movie about some guy he knows on Facebook. Even “De Palma” hinges on an artist having the opportunity to reckon with his own reputation; it’s an extremely generous gift from one filmmaker to another.

So while “The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected),” which premiered to

The Week in Star Wars returns (sorry) with details on The Last Jedi including rumoured runtimes and trailer descriptions, Episode IX comments, Star Wars Rebels’ return and more…

Let’s kick things off with Star Wars: The Last Jedi and we’ve got a couple of rumours to run through. First up is a rumoured description for the next trailer, however it does come from a YouTuber via 4Chan so do take it with a pinch of salt. We won’t post it here, but you can read all about it via this link. Next up is the supposed runtime of the movie, which comes via theatre chain Cineworld. According to the site’s posting, The Last Jedi will run for 150 minutes, making it the longest Star Wars film to date. For comparison, Disney’s first two Star Wars movies – Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Rogue One: A

Taylor Swift has reached out to one survivor of the tragic Las Vegas shooting.

The singer, 27, sent the Los Angeles Police Department’s Foothill Community Police Station in Pacoima, California, multiple bouquets of flowers after one of their officers was shot at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, according to Lapd Intel Analyst Kimberlee Binder.

“Talk about a class act! @taylorswift sent multiple bouquets of flowers and plants to our station, as one of our officers was shot in Las Vegas last night. This is one of the smaller arrangements. Beautiful flowers can bring a smile to anyone’s face. Much respect,

Netflix’s new animated comedy “Big Mouth” takes on adolescence from a distinctly adult point of view, tracking the middle school adventures of a pack of tweens whose bodies are changing in crazy ways. Fortunately, their antics are brought to life by the crème de la crème of voice acting — starting with the powerhouse himself, co-creator Nick Kroll.

It wasn’t a surprise when Kroll, an executive producer of the show, recruited his friend and Broadway co-star John Mulaney to the roster. After that, the voice cast list seems to be a handful of your favorite SNL alums and comedy icons. Even Dick Whitman makes a small, yet savory appearance.

It has been rumored that Angelina Jolie would play the legendary Egyptian queen, but Sony would be wise to heed recent charges of whitewashing that have tanked other blockbusters. The script has seen three different scribes so far: David Scarpa, Eric Roth and Brian Helgeland.

The first reactions are pouring in from critics who have seen “Blade Runner 2049,” and to call them “great” would be a massive understatement. Words like “masterpiece” are being thrown around by more than one critic when talking about Denis Villeneuve’s highly anticipated sequel, which means you’ll probably want to order tickets right now to what is shaping up to be the most acclaimed blockbuster of the fall.

Right, so let’s look at the Colin Trevorrow situation then. It was revealed this week that Trevorrow (Jurassic World) had become the fourth director since the Disney-era to vacate the director’s chair, exiting Star Wars: Episode IX over creative differences. “Lucasfilm and Colin Trevorrow have mutually chosen to part ways on Star Wars: Episode IX,” the Lucasfilm press release said. “Colin has been a wonderful collaborator throughout the development process, but we have all come to the conclusion that our visions for the project differ. We wish Colin the best and will be sharing more information about the film soon.” The Hollywood Reporter added that rumours of Trevorrow leaving had been circling since June just before the release of The Book of Henry
